Fantastic hotel with beautiful indoor pool and Starbucks coffee shop. I paid for a club room so I had access to the pool area (otherwise you can pay there) but didn’t realise that also included free parking so win win!
Wheatsheaf Basingstoke by Chef and Brewer Collection is set just off the A303, about 11 km southwest of Basingstoke, with good links to the M3.

This place resembles an English bar in a good sense. It is very comfy, with very friendly staff. The room wasn't large but had everything needed. The bed was comfortable. The breakfast and the food in general were very good and tasty. The hotel is close to EGHP Popham.

Very poor. They told me they had a new supplier and the order wasn’t delivered

The location was well situated near the motorway but not so close that noise pollution invaded the room and created difficulty sleeping or any other discomfort. Only a short walk to Basingstoke town centre for breakfast, lunch and dinner and also to have a look around the town and shopping centre. The room was larger than expected, very modern, nicely decorated and clean. The bar area on the ground floor was well decorated, clean, the staff were really nice and helpful and the whole hotel had a really nice atmosphere.
Set in Whitchurch, 13 km from Highclere Castle, Watership Down Inn offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and a restaurant.

The evening meal was very good for you and the restaurant has a nice atmosphere. We did not stay for breakfast though sadly.

Having stayed in a large chain hotel in Newbury only the night before my stay. The words that come to mind is chalk and cheese. The staff at the Beach were excellent polite well trained and looked to enjoy their jobs. The polar opposite to the night before.
This is a gem and i will be returning in may.

A little village out in the sticks, You need a car to get there.
We stayed at the Beach Arms in Oakley on the main A3400 road,
It isn't easy to find if you go the A303 route as we missed it completely coming from the other side of Salisbury, and ended up in Winchester first.
The best way is to take the M3 and then come off for Basingstoke, follow the signs for Newbury and the A3400 will appear on the signs. It is well hidden.
Stayed in one of the Innkeeper Lodges. Noisy if you stay at the front of the building, but we were right at the back, there is only 22 rooms, we had room 21. Backs onto fields.
The pub had special offer prices, like the Hungry horse franchise, and service was very quick, considering the covid 19 rules. Staff were very friendly and explained it all beforehand. Breakfast is payable and in the pub in the morning.
Oakley itself is very small, like all the villages in the area, it is sprawled out. We didn't cover the village, but I'm sure it must be as pretty as all the other villages around it.
Our hotspot was Winchester - Saturday, busy and bustling, A hotspot for the Covid 19, no wonder considering the way the cafes and restaurants were packing people in, side by side. We didn't dare go in.
Mask wearing there wasn't much to be seen. The Great Hall, what's left of the Winchester Castle is worth a look into our British history. £4 to get in, ideally book online to avoid queues, but the same price turning up at the door. Alot of money, for quite a little to do. Times online are to allow for 30 people in per hour. You will only get in on adhoc if it's not busy. Best to book online
The area of Oakley and villages are difficult to navigate without a satnav, I would avoid it in future for a short trip.

We booked this late in the day purely as a stop over en route to Cornwall. It was cheap because of the late booking and it more than served a purpose. Comfortable room, it was attached to a pub so the evening was sorted. All together I would recommend but book as late as you possibly can!

Keep your eyes peeled for the wonderful wildlife.
Keep your eyes peeled for the wonderful wildlife. On my way up the drive, there was a Green Woodpecker, standing in the verge, a Gold Finch flew in front of the car and landed on the fence next to me. and when I opened my curtains in the morning there was a hare running across the lawn! On my way back down the drive there were two, what I think were grouse right next to the road.
Very clean room, great bathroom. Shower was amazing.
We only ate breakfast however it was exceptional.
Liked that there was a door between the hotel and the pub that you needed the key for, that felt like a nice extra level of security.
We unfortunately didn’t actually sleep at the hotel as we were in A&E all night (unrelated to the hotel) so can’t comment on the bed however it looked great.
The hotel was clean and presentable. Room was nice and clean with a big tv. Shower was lovely. Staff were friendly. Hotel was quiet at night. Only thing is the toilet flush needs a few goes to flush properly. Other than that it is a great hotel that I would recommend. Will definitely stay here again if I am in the area!
